[Ewrt-devel] Mea culpa (was: building from sources)

Wed Jun 23 09:13:25 PDT 2004

Hello Alejo,

You missed the part about applying the patch.  checking config.h before
you compile is irrelevant, because a Makefile clobbers it.

I recommend that you backup your changes, start fresh and apply the
patch before compiling.  This will be fixed in CVS once I can actually
get someone to follow my instructions and let me know if my patch
worked.
